Yanapaccha Summit

Actually just below the actual summit on Yanapaccha. I was too cold for photos at the top and my guide, Eloy, took this of me just after we got back across the crevasse and down from the summit. Chacraraju is in the background on the left. Cordillera Blanca, Peru, August 2010.

Great Photo

I like the view of Chacraraju in the background. When I first saw this, I said "Wait a minute, that's not the summit." Then I read the caption. It's almost impossible to get a good shot right at the summit; it's only as wide as a horse's back.
